Charming Savannah is the picture of antebellum hospitality, thanks to period architecture and oak-lined streets. It’s tempting to spend your trip just relaxing on vast verandas and sipping mint juleps, but there are plenty of historical sites and museums to explore. Haunting (and possibly haunted) Bonaventure Cemetery is one of the hallmarks of the city, featuring beautiful obelisks, masses of flowers, and ivy-covered crypts. Dine on fresh seafood and creamy grits for a taste of Savannah home cooking.

Bellwether is an experiential luxury Bed & Breakfast housed in a 160-year-old mansion in the heart of Savannah, GA. We are focused on individual wellness, community integration, and environmental preservation. Each room is all-inclusive with everything the Bellwether House offers.
We were absolutely blown away by the level of detail that goes into the guest experience at Bellwether House. The staff members are by far their best asset. They welcome and interact with you like you are family or friends, they joke around, and seem like they genuinely enjoy being there. The amenities were above and beyond. The Bellwether breakfast was one of the top meals we had in Savannah. We also took yoga on the terrace, had afternoon tea, and joined in a toast at the end of the day. The added-value provided exceeds the cost of the room. We stayed in one of the more affordable rooms and couldn't have been more comfortable. The bed, linens, and decor were high-quality. Bellwether is within close walking distance of Forsyth Park and some of the other parks. It's a little far from the water front, but ride-shares are easy get. Plus, the neighborhood around Forsyth is much more quaint whereas the riverfront area is more commercialized/not as pretty. We will 100% return to Bellwether the next time we're in Savannah.

My friend and I stayed from May 31 until June 4. The Inn is located in the perfect spot and has lots of 'old world' charm. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. Especially Jo ... she could not do enough for us. Food excellent and perfect ambiance. Would stay here again (this was second time.)

The romantic Foley House Inn bed and breakfast in Savannah, Georgia is made up of two lavishly renovated historic mansions facing the quiet and lovely Chippewa Square. This romantic Savannah Inn is distinguished both by location and historic prominence. This historic bed and breakfast mansion hotel is located in the exact center of your Savannah Georgia destination journey
We stayed here 3 nights and enjoyed it very much. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed meeting and talking with fellow guests. The interior of the Foley House is beautiful as well as cozy with “water color” cool jazz music playing in the background. Chuck was fun to talk to as well as very helpful. We were served a very tasty breakfast each morning and wine at 6:00 pm each night. The location of the Foley House was by the Chippewa Square (Historic District). There were many restaurants in short walking distance. This also included an approximate 15 minute walk to the river shops, restaurants, riverboat, shuttle tours. We enjoyed Savannah so much because we enjoyed everything about the Foley House.

We found the Inn itself charming, the owners and desk staff delightful, and the bar is a locals favorite. The issue is that housekeeping does not clean beyond the surface, and the room was pretty disgusting. The furniture is stained, the carpet is worn, dirty, and well just missing in some spots. The walls are dingy and dirty, and both the air conditioner and room fan were horrendous! The baseboards are painted over mold and a layer or dust so thick they clearly have not been cleaned in months if not years. We would not walk barefooted in room 203. The pictures below are just some of what is wrong.

Forsyth Park Inn, Bobbie Jo, and the staff were the perfect choice for our elopement. They took care of everything; flowers and décor, a delicious cake, a great cocktail hour on the inn's veranda overlooking the park, and recommending an amazing officiant and photographer. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect and beautiful setting for our big day!

My husband and I stayed at Roussell's Garden May 15-19 and loved our stay. Jan's breakfasts were wonderful, creative, and filling while Brian's garden was peaceful after a long day of touring. Brian also was a wealth of information to help us in our quest to experience Savannah. Two of our friends and the two of us took the two carriage rooms and enjoyed sitting out on the porch on the two rocking chairs. The room we had was well appointed with a very comfortable bed and refreshing shower. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Savannah.

I'm a seasoned B&B, Inn, AirBNB, hotel traveler and each have a different vibe and offerings. This was not what I expected and having that knowledge now I would have stayed somewhere else. It's a no contact check in which is fine but there were issues in my room and luckily, I heard one of the owners closing a door so I could ask her a few questions. But first I said, hello, are you the owner, I'm *, just checked in. Her answer was yes. She wanted to know what the issues were and when I told her she said the other owner usually handles one and she couldn't accommodate the other. Not a good start, but the main thing I noticed was her personally which seemed a little cold. Have you ever said something to someone and they just kind of look at you like a deer in headlights? I learned later they have only owned the place 6 months, so most reviews are when the previous owner was there. When she served breakfast, she didn't say one word to anyone. Not how is everyone? Not where is everyone from? Not what's been your favorite spot? Perhaps this is going to be the new way with younger owners who grew up with cell phone texts and not in person conversations. Too bad. Pros: The cookies were great and you can grab a glass of wine. The others at breakfast were lovely and all experienced B&B also. Cons: Room was super cold and no way to control the temperature (the owner does that for the whole house). TV wouldn't switch channels (she said they are going to get new ones). Lighting in the room was dim. I found hairs on the edge of and in the tub.

Justineinn, previously the Olde Savannah Inn, is a five bedroom exquisite privately owned refurbished inn elegantly designed in 2006 in French Renaissance. This is a rare inn with its extraordinary uniqueness and caters to the highest level of detail. This inn is a must see.
My wife and I spent spent one night and due to an early flight did not get to enjoy the breakfast. We stayed in the Renaissance room and found it adequate in size and quite well decorated. The bathroom has a claw footed tub so be aware the shower is a bit of a challenge since you are standing in a raised tub surrounded by a curtain. The hosts were all very friendly and accommodating. They have a happy hour and we enjoyed a glass of wine on the front patio - - very relaxing and a beautiful view of historic district houses. The location is perfect for exploring Savannah and we would recommend if looking for a nice place with history and friendly service.
